You are working from the assumption that Trump wants a border wall. My take is that he wants a fight over his border wall. He needs a focus of fear and anger to whip up his base, and he needs the news to be about HIM. If he gets the funds he loses his issue. And when nothing changes when the wall goes up, he loses again. He wins by prolonging the conflict, not by resolving it.
In that light it makes the most sense to sign a bill without the funds and then declare an emergency that will be tied up in court for years.
